Protests sweep France, Spain as masked mobs loot shops, clash with cops; 1,100 held

Videos shared online showed people trapped inside shops, including the department store El Corte Ingles, after shutters were lowered to prevent looting. Other footage showed hooded demonstrators dressed in black smashing shop windows and taking goods, sometimes encouraged by people watching online. Barcelona Mayor Jaume Collboni warned that acts of vandalism "will not go unpunished".
